I wrote yesterday about how well construction is going on the Oklahoma property that will be Zena Suri Alpacas and promised

new pictures soon. Here they are. The quality of the photos is iffy since the camera was a hand-held cell phone. We are wondering if we are totally  insane or some of life’s lucky people.

I think we may have to nickname it “The Taj Mahal at Zena” or the “Winchester Mystery House II.” Maybe we should have a house naming contest? What would you name the house at Zena Suri Alpacas?

If they ever came, we could probably fit most of Zena's citizens in our barn

Zena is the name of the tiny town where our 78 acre property sits. Roughly 123 people live there in 82 housing units. Fewer than one-third of the families have children under age 18. The post office closed January 31, 1956. The median age is 42.

We hope to bring several jobs to Zena and/or Delaware County where it is located and are hopeful that taxes on our agricultural venture won’t be too high, so we can try a few additional ideas that will bring money into the area.

Right now, we are terrified by what we have done. Quick, send moral support!
